DEMs Drop GOD From Party Platform

Guess what? God’s name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.

This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:

“We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”

Now the words “God-given” have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:

“We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”

that will go over like a lead balloon in West Palm Beach.....did anyone watch the interview by Bret Baier with Dick Durbin, he got downright testy when Baier confronted him about the "new"platform.....Guessing the DNC figures there are more atheists and agnostics, the Jerusalem omittance seems like a sure way to lose the hard core Jewish vote....m beginning to think that the far left wing of the D party has hijacked the platform

cant wait to hear how menmon is going to spin this one, since he has stated his devout Christian side..
